(I'm a fan of Irons as well but my answer is still Gibson. Tired of the run-pass option. Prefer Gibson's style of play.)

LoyalZIP Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 No matter how pathetic BG is, man I am PROUD of this team. The goal line stand early gave them life when things seemed to be heading for the tipping point. And obviously Gibson was a tremendous shot in the arm. They played hard and motivated when they got down, maybe the coach speak is paying off?? Ha! This is a sign of life. It should be at least the third win of the season, but we'll take this all day long. When you play with swagger and confidence, you have a chance. As coach Lasso says, "Believe." Let's celebrate, Zips fans! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip JD Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) After the OU debacle and everyone having them most likely finishing 1-11 (me included), this was great for the team. They played hard and may have some life for the second half of the season. This will be the best bus ride the team has had in at least 3 seasons. Go Zips!

Football grandma Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 49 minutes ago, 94zipgrad said: They have been moving the o-line around during game, wonder if grandma zip has noticed Yes, she did! The the player I thought should have been benched was on it! I saw some flashes of good coaching: rotating in fresh players to give the coach's darlings a rest, giving the defense pause when a new number showed up; mixing things up so the defense wondered if the "new shirt" was there for a trick play. Just a few flashes, though. Why in hades were they still running #18 with a 15 point lead in the last 2 minutes!!! When the game was in hand, the coaches should have been mining for another diamond in the rough. Get your starters out of there so no injuries occur. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue & Gold Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 I wasn’t able to see most of the game, but man we’re the parts I was able to see fun! That goal line stand in the 1st quarter was HUGE!!! Gibson was on fire, and as I mentioned before, I think Mumpfield is the best true freshman Zips WR since David Harvey!

clarkwgriswold Posted October 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 I was on the road all day. Looks like someone saved their job today. I'll admit that I thought they were done. To Arth's credit, it can't be easy to motivate a team that has had the Zips record but he obviously pulled it off today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Gibson coming in during the UMass game two years ago. I also remember Joe Dunn (FWIW) saying during that game how awesome Gibson was. Why did he go back on the bench?

I realize the goal line stand was there in the 1st quarter but both sides of the ball looked different 2nd half.

LZIp Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) first half of this thread vs the 2nd is something else. How much do Ohio HS "respect" Loeffler @GP1? Because Arth sure owns his a$$!! WIll take some time to rewatch the game and post more thoughts in the coming days. Enjoying victory Saturday Edited October 9, 2021 by LZIp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsrule Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Like most, I went into this game not expecting much. Being down 13-0 didn't help. From that point, this team looked different and started to make plays - on both side of the ball. I know this is only our second win, but it is amazing how much better I feel coming out of this game. I don't know if we will any more games, but if we play like we did today, we can be competitive in most of them. That would be a big step in the right direction.

I can't recall the last game the Zips had 3 more takeaways than the opposition and lost. You can even beat a Big Ten team with that kind of turnover margin.

clarkwgriswold Posted October 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 I guess we shouldn't expect the Beacon to have the only reporter that covers the Zips travel 136 miles to a game. https://www.beaconjournal.com/videos/sports/college/zips/2021/10/09/watch-university-akron-qb-zach-gibson-being-ready-lead-tom-arth/6075949001/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
